T3551ER Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I sort of hesitate to make a new thread for this, but not sure it really fits in the larger movies thread. Between school, work, baby and life in general, find myself being drawn to watching films that are not too substative (but not just dumb) and look amazing. Basically, things I could just smoke and veg out to. Any recommendations? Things that I think fall in this category are: Jupiter Ascending - total fairy tale/fluff but great world building and visually awesome Batman V Superman - I just rewatched the extended version and PM loved it. It's actually more thematically dense than I think people give it credit for, looks amazeballs, not too challenging on the brain piece. Most of Snyder's stuff probably fits in this category Prometheus - as heady sci-fi it's terrible; as cheesy horror with interesting lofty ideas it's amazing. Looks triff War of the Worlds (Spielberg version) - been a minute, but this one is just a joy to watch, no wasted scenes. Almost perfect expect for the last 2 minutes. Looks incredible. Mad Max: Fury Road - from beginning to end, str8 lushness. Amazeballs. EDIT: Star Wars Rise of Skywalker - lol what a fucking shitshow but man I love getting blazed and watching this. When you abandon any hope of trying to make this a cogent film and just take it as a series of scenes that are loosely strung together it's the tits Edited February 10, 2021 by T3551ER markedone 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/100716-eyecandy-movies-that-wont-break-your-brain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

drillkicker Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I love Barry Lyndon for this specifically. Playtime is also an essential choice Good Morning (1959) as well Maybe Kagemusha would fit in, but it is a little complicated Edited February 10, 2021 by drillkicker Taupe Beats, markedone, T3551ER and 1 other 4 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide drillkicker's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/100716-eyecandy-movies-that-wont-break-your-brain/#findComment-2853583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkface Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Come and See (1985) - Amazing cinematography and a very beautiful story that will lift your spirit Not exactly a non-cerebral movie though. Also viewers should be aware that there is actual footage from a Nazi death camp in the film.

Grats ya'll, lots of ones here I haven't seen yet (or partially seen - Mandy got vetoed by the missus but loved what I saw). Bladerunner 2049 also prob fits this in addition to OG Bladerunner.

Braintree Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I had a really good time recently watching the John Wick movies and smoking weed. Those fight scenes are brutal. Keanu has like five lines per movie but it's over-the-top in just the right way.

ignatius Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Serenity (FireFly movie) is fun and well done. it's charming. plot moves well and it's got some genuine LOL lines in it and good action of all sorts. good cast. space stuff. i'd def add that all the more recent Terminator movies are great for getting blazed and watching some action with big stuff and some pretty amazing sound design. when this big thing pops up from underground and fires its weapon that BONK sound is one my fav things.

Braintree Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hero with Jet Li still looks great and has a wonderful score. You can shut your brain off for that one.

T3551ER Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) EDIT this was to reference to Yakuza post-> ^ lol holy wtf. Love it. Also, agreed on the Guardians films. My wife and I watch the first one at least once a year, never disappoints. @Braintree reminded me of how great Hero is. The falling leaves scene alone is just gahhhh, love it. OT but Ghosts of Tsushima def makes me feel at times as if I'm living in that realm... 2nd EDIT: oh right! yeah, THX is so good - the remaster is also one of the few times where Lucas retouched his old stuff and it actually seemed to make it better ..
